Bionic multi-legged robots with flexible bodies embody human ingenuity in imitating, learning, and exploring the natural world. In contrast to rigid-body robots, these robots with flexible bodies exhibit superior locomotive capabilities. The flexible body of the robot not only boosts the moving speed and walking stability but also enhances adaptability across complex terrains. This article focuses on the innovative design of flexible bodies. Firstly, the structural designs, including artificial spines and single/multi-axis articulation mechanisms, are outlined systematically. Secondly, the enhancement of robotic motion by flexible bodies is reviewed, examining the impact that body degrees of freedom, stiffness, and coordinated control between the body and limbs have on robotic motion. Thirdly, existing robotic control methods, organized by control architectures, are comprehensively overviewed in this article. Finally, the application prospects of bionic multi-legged robots with flexible bodies are offered, and the challenges that may arise in their future development are listed. This article aims to serve as a reference for bionic robot research.
